I read these as a sprout. They were pretty cheesy but also very entertaining. Good lowbrow fun. ( )

at times funny but never greatly so - it was not terrible but neither was it great - parody 80% - comedy 50% - fun 40% ( )

Synopsis A young apprentice to a powerful wizard must help the wizard get through all sorts of adventures while the wizard is under the weather of an allergy to magic.   My Thoughts This book was trying to be funny. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. Sadly, in this case, it meandered from one to the other. Some of the mini-adventures were funny, some were kind of meh, and some were just downright stupid.   The constant jumping from one place/adventure to another without any warning was weird as well. However, the Apprentices constantly falling in love with whoever the lady of the adventure was was pretty funny.   The apprentice felt like he was the narrator and his character was tacked into the story. It might have worked better to have an omniscient narrator and have the apprentice be more of an actual character.   I'll be reading the next 2 in the series however.   Rating: 3 of 5 Stars   Author: Craig Gardner     Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.com " ( )
